NPD: Both Resonance of Fate & Yakuza 3 fail to chart

I’m not shocked that Yakuza 3 didn’t make it into the Top 20 for the month of March. I’m a bit shocked that neither version of Resonance of Fate made it though.

I know, SEGA didn’t really advertise either and they released them in a ‘big month’ , but didn’t even do 100,000 units? Spin it how you will, but SEGA made a pretty big deal about Resonance of Fate when it was announced.

Glad to see Resonance of Fate doing so poorly. Hopefully SEGA just tells tri-Ace to fuck off now.

Yakuza 3 though, I think SEGA pushed it a fair bit considering the history of the franchise's sales in most of the world especially.

I mean, when you think about it, SEGA put more marketing budget into it than they did almost all of the games they released last year. I am frustrated it does not do better outside Japan too, but I wish people would stop lying. SEGA pushed the game pretty hard. They have mentioned multiple times that they want the series to succeed in the rest of the world, sure they could do better, but in the hands of any other publisher I doubt they would have ever even considered trying.

Is Resonance of Fate really that bad of a game because I'm want to play it but I keep hearing nothing but negativity. It's very offputting but I've bought games that were panned before and I enjoyed those more than I thought I would.
